This whole thread.
At the time EVERYONE knew exactly what the MAGAs were about. It was very very clear - and horrifying.
Time has allowed this anti-democracy event to be twisted and modified in the minds of MAGA (and some who should know better) to ‘just a protest’. (1)

This is obscene.
NO one needs this much - and it is evident that most who have this much make poor* use of it (or use it only to amass more...).
*buying Stuff they don't need

Not, to clarify, because I am pro-Maduro, but because WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE WE DOING.

1. Piss-poor repayment for the people’s kind response to stranded Americans after 9/11 & accommodation of a US base there.
2. Our current government cannot function *now*, so adding to the country’s size seems a really Bad Idea.
3. No. Just no.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

These days I am (trying) to keep an emergency stash of pet and human food (no, not at “prepper” level) to make sure we are covered for at least a week in event of shortages/shipping issues.
I am grateful I can do that, and feel for those running hard just to keep up with ’today’s’ needs!

That’s what I did too - the state I lived in at the time had yet to implement Real ID, so it made sense to get the passport card when renewing the passport.
